There is a feature in termux (android) history command which when you use !371 to execute the command 371 in the command history it prints that command in the prompt instead of executing it, then you just press enter to execute it. I found it very useful because many times I want to execute a command that is in the history but with some modification, I’m using Konsole in my desktop PC and I couldn’t find an option to make such a thing. The only one I found is executing history -p !371, but that just print the command to stdout and not to the prompt itself.

EDIT: the answer is !371:p then up and the command 371 shows up in the prompt. Thanks Schizo!

    As the other commenters have mentioned, this is part of the shell configuration and outside the scope of the terminal emulator.

    You can configure this yourself by adding shopt -s histverify to your bashrc.
